#### 23.2.1 Creating a generic XML project

Easier: use the DITA2Go Project Manager to start a new project; see §2.1 Creating a DITA2Go conversion project.

To create a generic XML project without using the DITA2Go Project Manager:

1. Create a directory for output files, separate from the directory where your DITA document is located.
2. Copy configuration file d2xml.ini from your DITA2Go config directory (see §1.3.1 Set up a framework for Omni Systems applications), or from an existing DITA2Go project, to your newly created output directory:
3. Use a text editor to edit d2xml.ini (see §3.1 Working with DITA2Go configuration files).
